Bids awarded for sewer and water projects; InfraMark reports operations and award recommendations
Summary
Council approved bid awards for manhole replacements and a Front Street water main and meter‑vault replacement, accepted InfraMark operational reports and authorized associated contract documents.
Council reviewed utility operations and awarded multiple infrastructure contracts recommended by InTek/InfraMark and borough staff.
Key approvals and updates: - Manhole 6 and 7 replacement: Council awarded the Manhole 6 & 7 replacement project to Wexcom (lowest evaluated bid), authorizing a contract of $182,575 and directing staff to issue a notice of award. - Front Street water main and meter vault replacement: Dolly Construction was selected as the apparent low, complete bidder at $307,790; council authorized a notice of award and contract execution. - InfraMark operations report: InfraMark reported that both the water and wastewater plants were operating within permitted parameters. The water plant received an area wide optimization program award for 2024. Staff noted higher utility and sludge drying costs in the first quarter (typical seasonal effect) and several scheduled capital activities: pump rebuilds, flow meter installations and LED conversions at the water plant; completed centrifuge and filter work at the wastewater plant.
Why it matters: The awarded contracts address aging sewer and water infrastructure and are required to maintain service reliability. Staff noted the need for coordination on detours, construction timing and contract oversight.
Votes: Council approved the contract awards and accepted InfraMark’s monthly reports by motion.
